Figure 4

Genome comparison of C. gallinacea and C. psittaci. (A) Whole genome BLAST comparison between C. psittaci NJ1 and four C. gallinacea genomes (including Type strain 08-1274/03). The image is created with BLAST Ring Image Generator (BRIG)49 and the first ring corresponds to the genome that was used for the comparison. (B) CDS for which no homologue (alignment E score higher than 1 × 10−3) could be identified in C. gallinacea 08-1274/03 or C. psittaci NJ1. Every colored block in the figure corresponds to a CDS. The different proteins are categorized and colored according to their function and location. The figure was created using the tidyverse package and R v3.6.152,53. (C) Graphical representation of the gene content of the PZs of representative Chlamydia species of avian origin including the Dutch C. gallinacea strains. Arrows represent PZ genes colored according to function (see key). Grey shading scale denotes % nucleotide identity. The image was created with Easyfig50.
